Description
Makers take over a local dollar movie theater for an evening, showing a film of their choosing. We can raise money for the shop by splitting the door with the theater.
To bring in the maker side, we could tie in one of strages' ideas to have a chat feed at the bottom of the screen. Maybe twitter? Show some short video clips of projects at the shop? Short commercial with real and fake projects for laughs?
Date Time
Tentative Date: Saturday August 21 at midnight
Cost
The theater will be more or less expensive depending on the date/time. It is more expensive on weekends, and even more expensive depending on what major movies are being released that week. There is no clear pricing sheet, it's done based on speculation for what the theater would stand to make with a regular showing at that time, and they charge us whatever they would need to break even.
The theater's manager said that other people who reserve theaters have been able to charge admission at the door. The theater seats 150 people.
Touchstar Cinemas is asking for $500 flat for us to book a room, and apparently the time doesn't matter. Since we're running our own movie they also want an additional $50 fee.
MrWorld is looking for contact info to ask about screening a movie at the Flying Monkey. They might refuse simply because we'd be doing a fundraiser for another community center at their donation driven community center, but it won't hurt to ask.
Format
The cheaper rooms we'd be interested in are 35mm projectors, so that's the format we need. They have other rooms with digital projection, but they are obviously much more expensive because they're usually showing bigger major releases in those rooms.
